i think it was josh barro on twitter who said "if you don't occasionally miss a flight that means you've wasted too much time at the airport over the course of your life," which is so fundamentally alien to me that i honestly think about it all the time
There's also the part in which Spain's debt-to-GDP ratio and budget deficit are both smaller than the US's, but, you know, Trump doesn't understand that gross government debt and current account deficits are different things.
a Trump post that says "has anybody looked at how badly the country of spain is doing. Their financial numbers, despite contributing almost nothing to NATO and their military defense, are absolutely horrendous. Sad to watch!!!"
stupid Trump tweet for many reasons but one of which is that Spain had higher GDP growth than the US over the last year (3% vs 2%)
The Onion plans to turn Infowars into a comedy site with satirical echoes of the fringe conspiracy theories that Mr. Jones is known for. Tim Heidecker, one of the comedians behind “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, has been hired to serve as “creative director of Infowars.” He said he initially plans to parody Mr. Jones’s “whole modus operandi.” Mr. Heidecker has been working on his impression of Mr. Jones. But eventually, when that joke gets old, Mr. Heidecker said that he hoped to turn Infowars into a destination for independent and experimental comedy. “I just thought it would be just a beautiful joke if we could take this pretty toxic, negative, destructive force of Infowars and rebrand it as this beautiful place for our creativity,” Mr. Heidecker said in an interview. During a recent trip to Philadelphia, he traveled to the Liberty Bell to film a video in character as the new creative director of Infowars.
Get excited.

Añado que si el medio salió a subasta es porque a su dueño, el infame Alex Jones, le condenaron a pagar 1.000 millones de dólares por difamar a padres de niños asesinados en un tiroteo diciendo que eran actores.
Jones, a todo esto, está peleándose con Trump esta semana por no apoyar la guerra.
El equivalente a El Mundo Today de EEUU se compra en una subasta un pozo de paranoia, bulos y desinformación ultraderechista para convertirlo en un medio de verdad. Me gusta cuando ganan los buenos.
Hi! Expert in Geopolitics here! Just wanted to let you know that this isn't cute – client states only do this when they are in a state of high distress!
Yoda from the olive meme and it says 2:12am... going back for more Hormuz
Es mezclar la concesión de ciudadanía a los nietos de exiliados por el franquismo (que son los que se han podido acoger a la LMD) con la regularización de migrantes así como quien no quiere la cosa.
The best explanation of what is happening between the US and Iran right now is that Trump is openly live-blogging the kind of fraught consultations that any sane US president in the past would have kept secret to avoid putting themselves and the other side under domestic pressure
The difference this time is that shipping companies are starting to take it seriously and warning that they could start moving by Monday if the green light is real: bsky.app/profile/fint...

Tough on the Pope, tough on the causes of popism
Entre 2022 y 2024 el PIB per cápita creció un 2,9% al año y, según el @bde.es, los extranjeros aportaron el 14-24%.
Ojo, no son meras aportaciones al PIB sino al PIB per cápita. Es decir, la población extranjera ha hecho que los nacionales seamos más ricos.

Everything is fucking dumb all the time now
he showed up to a mostly empty auditorium, got heckled by anti war protesters opposing the war he just humiliatingly failed to negotiate an end to, erika kirk stood him up, and he tried to explain catholicism to the pope. the only way he could’ve had a worse time is if he pissed his pants up there.
Credit where it's due, "If you're going to opine on matters of theology" is an extremely funny thing to say to the Actual Pope.
Is Trump resurrecting Epstein?
Donald Trump: he‘s just like us (losing his mind at the consequences of Donald Trump’s actions and posting his way through the emotional turmoil)
it feels quite bad that it's basically impossible to argue that much of the modern right in the west has become both entirely intellectually shallow and deeply, fundamentally morally corrupt without sounding like a tedious teenage tankie, because it is.....the factual truth
Mientras tanto, Trump prepara un nuevo cisma en la Iglesia
Hungarians celebrated the landslide defeat of Orban by singing "We Are the Champions" out in the streets
Y lo de Cospedal fue de uno o dos porque con el sistema proporcional, hay un límite de cuánto se puede trampear (básicamente cuánto les dejas sacar a los pequeños).
Con un sistema uninominal puedes robar más, pero cuando sale mal, no hay ningún suelo por debajo, la caída puede ser infinita.
People in the Budapest Metro, Hungary, shouting: “Russians, go home!”
hugely corny moment when everyone very solemnly sang the national anthem then Magyar left and We Are The Champions started playing from the speakers and honestly: everyone loved it, if now isn't the time to be corny then when is
Orban is not conceding because he's honourable. He's conceding because his defeat is so comprehensive even he can't pretend he won.
So it's now *not* a blockade then?!
